If you love meandering storytelling that also pushes you along like the swell of a tide in a river, read Once upon a River. I LOVED it - it's one of those novels where you slow down towards the end because you don't want it to end. Setterfield is a born storyteller. I wish I was just starting Once upon a RIver ... if you haven't read it you've got a treat in store.
